Chapter Forty-Eight: Why Are You So Skilled?
Guo Jing's soldiers and horses exceeded 60,000, and such a force was already quite a huge combat force in any era of the Great Song Dynasty.
But his official official position in the official is still the training envoy of the Xiangyang regiment, which is equivalent to what level in later generations?
Lu Wenhuan is the prefect of Xiangyang, so Xiangyang is at the prefectural and municipal level, but Guo Jing is not in the establishment, so he cannot be equated with the minister of armed forces at the prefectural and municipal levels, but can only be regarded as a reserve brigade commander who is not in the national defense force sequence, and the role cannot be higher!
You must know that the Great Song Dynasty began to "cross to the south in clothes" from the Jingkang period, and it has been more than 100 years since then, relying on the Jianghuai defense line, the court of the Han nation has renewed itself for more than 300 million seconds. No matter how the civil court struggled, just like the resentment of the Northern Song Dynasty to recover the sixteen states of Youyan, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains to recover the homeland is also the common wish of countless people.
Then the question is, recover Bianliang!
That's the capital of the old country, as long as you write your name in the Variable Reconquest, then the title of a Zhongxing celebrity is fine!
This is an incomparably huge amount of political capital, whether it is the Jia Nidao group or the anti-Jia faction, when Guo Jing's army divided its troops into two ways to drink horses outside Bianliang City, everyone couldn't sit still!
Jia seems to be a great minister, but his younger brothers need this credit.
Of course, the lion's share of the credit belongs to Prime Minister Jia, and it all depends on his strategizing to be able to have the victory of the Northern Expedition.
The boss ate the biggest and fattest piece of meat, which did not prevent the people below from drinking the soup, even if the soldiers were in danger, there were still countless people who grabbed their heads for the quota.
The second share is anti-Jia, and then the famous Wen Tianxiang is still a small character at this time, just a Zhizhou. This group of people, led by Chen Yizhong, planned to make a person to do "Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion".
Because Zhao Lao Er had done Kaifeng Mansion, so later, in order to avoid him, the mayor of the capital after the Great Song Dynasty made a very distinctive word "right", that is, temporary, the meaning of agency, in fact, is the main job, and the real owner of Kaifeng Mansion has already traveled west.
Speaking of this Zhao Er, the allusion of the candle shadow shaking red is to nail him to the judgment seat of history.
This is not enough, after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty in history, the Yuan Dynasty appeared a picture of "Xiling Xingxiao Zhouhou", this painting depicts the scene at that time, several healthy women carried Xiao Zhouhou, Zhao Lao Er just stood like this to give the wife of the emperor of the dead country to "luck", and gave a good green hat to the poetry emperor Li Yu.
However, this is a bit wronged Zhao Er, Xiling refers to the Yongxi Mausoleum of Zhao Er of Song Taizong, if he did it, can he use the name of the painting with the name of his own mausoleum?
Moreover, there is no record of this incident in all the official histories, wild histories, and private notes of the Song Dynasty since then, and even the legend that Xiao Zhou was often summoned to the palace has not been confirmed.
There are only two records of this painting in history, Yao Shilin, a native of the Ming Dynasty, said: "Yu tasted the famous hand of my salt Zhang Jilinyuanren's "Song Taizong Qiangxing Xiao Zhou Hou" powder book, and then wore a flower crown, and wore red socks on both feet, and the socks were only half of the shin ears. Naked with five maids, two bearing armpits, two bearing shares, one hugging the back, in the air. Taizong took the lead. After closing his eyes and turning his head, he rejected Taizong's cheeks with his hand. ”
I really don't know why the Yuan Dynasty was so angry with Zhao Er, if you want to say that you beat the northern nomads, or Zhao Da did better, right?
Well, it's a bit of a stretch again.
The Yuan army once again tried to compete with the Northern Expeditionary Army in the field, with 160,000 troops facing two divisions in front of Guo Jing, 30,000 people.
Looking at the data alone, this is the advantage of crushing.
However, with a large number of cyborgs serving as middle and low-level officers, the Northern Expeditionary Army has transformed into a modern army with firearms.
The charge used in the Napoleonic guns of the divisional artillery regiment was not the backward black powder, but the famous explosive whose name would be harmonized.
In the face of the cavalry charge, Guo Jing's army was several orders of magnitude stronger than the crooked Guoren army of the Monk Greenqin in the Battle of the Bali Bridge in another time and space, both in terms of advanced equipment and the intensity of firepower.
The first to charge was the Han army's hereditary troops, these northern landlords and aristocrats had already become a community of interests with the Yuan Dynasty, they brought their own dry food, recruited their own troops, and became the vanguard of the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty in history.
The continuous shelling inflicted heavy casualties on them, and the troops were directly blinded.
Fortunately, these people are old fritters who have fought old battles, and they know that retreating is a dead end, whether it is this terrible weapon, or the Mongolian warriors in the back, they will become the god of death to harvest their lives, and only rushing up to strangle the enemy is the only way to survive.
It's a pity that artillery washing is the appetizer, and mortars, which are easier to cast, form a second line of fire in front of the position, then a network of machine-gun fire, and then grenades......
War is not a matter of addition and subtraction, and thousands of living lives disappear in just half an hour in this way, like slaughtering livestock.
This gave the Han army a great shock, but unfortunately the battlefield could not be carefully considered, and before they could decide whether to continue to rush, Guo Jing also made a move.
The combination of 98K and Madsen machine guns made the archers of the Yuan army useless, and the blood began to bloom on their own side from a long distance.
Counter-shooting?
Inexistent!
The blood of the first battle outside Bianliang City flowed into a river, this time it was no longer the blood of the Han army, but the blood of the northern nomadic regime, the ultra-long-distance killing range of firearms, so that the cavalry tactics that could not be beaten and ran also failed, and every step of retreat had to pay a great price, not to mention that Guo Jing already had two regiments of cavalry troops on his side, and after the war stopped, the time for the cavalry to show their skills came.
This time it was the turn of the Yuan army to enjoy the pleasure of being pursued by the cavalry.
Fortunately, they had a lot of cavalry, although they lost very badly, this time more than 70,000 people escaped from 160,000 people, which is also a helpless thing, they have not entered the motorized mechanization, and Guo Jing's troops want to rely on their legs to surround the Mongolian army, which is obviously unrealistic.
Historically, when Zhu Yuanzhang defeated the Yuan Dynasty when he founded the country, the Mongols also retained their vital strength and retreated to the grassland, and were not encircled and annihilated.
Emperor Hongwu is not unwilling, but he can't.
After that, the Mongols continued to be the henchmen of the Ming Dynasty until the rise of wild boar skins......
As a result, Guo Jing's originally planned siege battle unexpectedly did not happen, and Marshal Ah Shu was defeated again, leaving Guo Daxia with a relatively intact Bianliang City.
The imperial court's "Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion" has also arrived at the right time, and it is Chen Yizhong himself!
As soon as he arrived in the city, he convened the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army to discuss the matter, and he didn't take Guo Jing, the original chief officer, into account.
Bianliang has fallen for more than 100 years, originally relying on the entire Great Song Dynasty to support, the city has the flow of the Qingming River, but now all this is gone, even the "carved fence jade should still be there" can not be done, so dilapidated, so desolate, the population is greatly reduced than the peak.
"Brother Jing, he made such a big official wish, you just don't care?" Huang Rong has a big belly, as the commander of the first division, he is also in the presence of the generals.
Chen Yizhong relied on the righteousness of the imperial court to give all kinds of rewards and rewards to the generals, which was also a common method used by the Great Song Dynasty against the troops who had made great contributions, after all, the generals loved money.
As long as the promotion and fortune are carried out, the original military leader's control over the army will immediately fall off a cliff, and then the civil servants can use various means to cut and divide, and then make this army disappear, they are very skilled in this kind of work.
